My friend Anne, who used to live in this area of France, told me about a patchwork and embroidery quilts exhibition that would be on while we were in the area. As we were staying close by I hoped to get to see the expo. Thanks for the tip Anne.
The exhibition was held upstairs in this lovely building.
Here are just some of the quilts on display. Many of them include an element of embroidery as well as traditional hand piecing and hand quilting. Some used the more modern technique of machine pieced and machine quilted.
Unfortunately each of the quilts had a spotlight shining on them so it made it difficult to photograph them well, but I’m sure you will enjoy seeing them anyway.
I am very pleased to have found the exhibition and really enjoyed chatting to once of the volunteers who could speak English.
Next I will give you a guided tour of the villages in the area.

Glad you enjoyed the expo. I think I recognise some of the name of the exhibitors.
Loved it Anne the fact that one of the ladies could speak English was lovely. I did try and photograph the quilts with their tags so that you could see them. On some of the photos in the blog I think they are not visible but I can show you the actual photos when we are home for you to see the names.
Very talented crafters!!!
I can see you making some of the colourful ones.
Me too.
What a coincidence that you just happen to be in the right place at the right time Kerry!!😻The quilts are stunning… especially the hand embroidery. What a treaty. X Linda
I was really hoping that I would get to see them. Anne has been before and said it was worth going to. So glad I did.
Enjoying your trip and narrative. Now I don’t want to spoil Jim’s day, but I know he likes to keep up to date on the footy scores. East Perth 14.10 beat West Perth 8.10. I’m still celebrating at the Mal Brown Bar (formerly the Bill Dempsey Bar & Grill) at Leederville Oval.
🤣
Oh how fab Kerry, what a treat for you. The quilts are gorgeous xx
Yes very lucky to have the time to visit. I did enjoy it.
What a great display. Loving your pic Kerry.
Go glad I got to see the expo.
Wow, marvellous that you could experience that Kerry. Some very special work there.
Yes it loved it.
Beautiful work, the first 5 you photographed are my favorites.
Yes quite different having all the embroidery on them as well.
